Manga News

Creators of 07-Ghost to Start New Manga
The authors of 07-Ghost, Yuki Amemiya and Yukino Ichihara, announced in the September issue of Monthly Comic ZERO-SUM that their latest work, titled Bato Rabbits, has been serialized and will begin in the November issue.

Creator of Glass Mask to End Her Work
It has been revealed in Kadokawa's Entermix magazine that manga Glass no Kamen (The Glass Mask) will gradually come to its end. Though the date of the final chapter hasn't been announced yet, Suzue Miuchi, the creator of the manga, avowed that everything good should end and her work is no exception.

Hunter x Hunter Manga Hiatus Continued
The Hunter x Hunter manga's hiatus will continue for at least another week. Last week it was announced that the manga would be going on a two-week hiatus due to mangaka Yoshihiro Togashi's back pain.

Hayao Miyazaki to Receive Academy Honorary Award
An Honorary Award will be presented to Miyazaki on November 8th at the 6th Annual Governors Awards, as well as to French screenwriter Jean-Claude Carrière and actress Maureen O'Hara. Past years' winners can be found here.

Yukari Tamura as a narrator that's interesting especially since she did something remotely similar back in her younger days (she voiced your operator in the Japanese version of the first Armored Core).

So Isuca got an update recently. Based on that, it'll probably air during Winter if not sooner. I highly doubt Fall though. Still no official animated PV of World Trigger yet but I'm not expecting animation quality to be top notch. Given that time slot as well...

And Hunter x Hiatus isn't the only one with a break I think. The Railgun manga also is currently on break/delayed. Should that be included as part of the news too?

Wait, is this actually confirmed for Spring 2015? I noticed that the news source on CR didn't list it as Spring. It mentions "March" which is a very odd time to be an airing date. I didn't see another source that lists KnB Season 3 to air during Spring.

The episodes will be available for free with English subtitles in the United States, Canada, Central & South America (except for American Samoa, Guam, Palau, Marshall Islands and Northern Mariana Islands), Europe (all countries), Africa (all countries except Mauritius), Oceania (all countries except Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Tonga, Nauru, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Micronesia, Federated States and Western Samoa), the Middle East (all countries), and Antarctica.

We already announced the season, so the exact date is something for the anime entry and isn't really newsworthy.

Since the chapter was supposed to appear in the issue released on August 27th and it's already September 1st, we figured that the news was minor and users up to date with the series would already know the chapter didn't appear in the mag. If the chapter was supposed to have been released next week, for example, we would have still included it.

March = Spring season (i.e. end of March or early April). Looking at the scan that CR included with the news though, there is no mention of March. Perhaps the author mistook the 3 in 3rd season as March. Will correct it now, thanks.

I guess I'll have to start getting used to these HxH hiatuses once I start the manga after the anime ends =P Well maybe this will be a first for me for a while since it's health issues? Hopefully Togashi sensei's back feels better soon!
